Kevin Sinfield was pumped up, what with having won the Grand Final and all, but later on next week when he looks back at the season even his head will have to admit, Leeds played like shoite earlier in the season and any criticism then was well justified from supporters who expect the highest standards.

That wasn't for our fans that was for people outside the club.

| Would never think booing players or team is right, but with some early season performances some criticism was justified, quite happy to be proved wrong and in the end the players have performed and credit to the manager McDermott and his team as well

I’m happy with Brian McDermott. Life is full of happiness and sadness. I’d rather embrace these emotions than be a robotic troll like you who’s obviously always right.

| I don't see why an apology is due.
McDermott lost twice to Harlequins, was losing after 65 mins twice to Crusaders plus was very fortunate to avoid two losses to Bradford with a miracle comeback - he lost three times to three of the four weakest teams in the competition and it could have been six.
He could have easily ended the season with more losses than wins, just a couple of late comebacks such as those identified prove that.
He also got thumped at home by over 30 points quite a few times.
He has come good since the second half at Wembley, but he has only been good since then and not before when he was rightly criticised.
You could argue that he has had a lot of luck with Rangi Chase's missed drop goal and a 1 point win, a 2 point win v Warrington and a lot of very convenient injuries (both Warrington and St Helens lost their fullbacks during the game in consecutive weeks).
I'm really pleased that Leeds won the Grand Final but I don't think anyone needs to eat humble pie. I think McDermott is an average coach (with a career record of more losses than wins) but he has had a great winning run for a number of weeks after 20+ runs of mediocrity.
If he can regularly produce, everyone will need to eat humble pie. Even at Quins he had good runs over 5 games or so but couldn't make it last.
I think the whole team whom played were signed by someone else, so he has been a capable steward, you can say that.

| The two teams who have slated their coaches off for the first half of the season get to the grand final and not only that give us one of the best grand finals in history.

| Even though the Wolves have been THE team this year, what Leeds have achieved is remarkable. It is a shot in the arm for the play-off format and to teams like Cas. Ahem, if they manage to finish in the top 8 that is!

Fairplay, they've been consistent. Yet they've been found short when it really matters; Challenge Cup & Super League playoffs. IMHO they only finished top of the league in the regular rounds due to playing Wigan the week after their CC win. Flat track bullies is an accurate appraisal.

| I hereby offer a full and unreserved apology to Brian Mac & Jimmy Lowes. Thanks to them and the players. What a game.
Shame Feeder couldn't make it. Perhaps these guys might be more appropriatehttps://img.noiset.com/images/album/humble-pie-natural-born-boogie-album-artwork-546.jpeg" >

Not really, we beat Wigan away earlier in the season and beat them home and away in 2010 when they were champions. We also beat Leeds and Saints home and away in the league this season.
We only got edged out in the playoffs in the final minutes of a close game against the eventual champions Leeds, ultimately that's where our season went. Did we deserve to win SL? No. But the argument of flat track bullies is a myth - that would hold if we were good at smashing lower table teams and always struggled against the top sides but we beat 4 of the top 5 teams in the league home and away, the only one we didn't was Hudds who we smashed 47-0 in the playoffs.

| I am genuinely pleased for the guy.....he seems a decent guy, but the common denominator of all GF wins is this very special set of players ...indeed we might wait a long time to see this incredible team spirit again.
